Overview

This article guides you through migrating your ASGARD Management Center to a new server. It also serves as a basis for other ASGARD products or disaster recovery.

Prerequisites

• Access to our https://portal.nextron-systems.com/ .

• A valid, activated ASGARD license.

• Console root and web access to your server.

• An Management Center with the latest version. See https://asgard-manual.nextron-systems.com/en/latest/changelog/index.html

• A current backup of your legacy Management Center. See https://asgard-manual.nextron-systems.com/en/latest/maintenance/backup-restore.html

• Systems communicate via FQDN resolution using DNS. See https://asgard-manual.nextron-systems.com/en/latest/requirements/network.html# .

• No scans or tasks running from the legacy Management Center or Master ASGARD during migration.

Expected result

• The Management Center can be accessed via the web UI.

• The asset agents can communicate with the Management Center.

• The Management Center can communicate with the Analysis Cockpit and Master ASGARD.

• The Management Center can obtain updates.

• The initial configuration has been successfully applied.

Steps to proceed

If a migration is required and it can´t be performed via import and export of an virtualized ASGARD Management Center instance, we have to distinguish between two scenarios:

• Migrating the Management Center: Without Changing the FQDN

• Migrating the Management Center: Steps for FQDN Change and Asset Migration
